Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), nearly identical to the preceding month. Plantersville records a mean low-temperature of 70.9°F (21.6°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
